Support Windows 8 RT for Surface Tablet and Windows Phone 8 for Mobile Devices
This is not a full windows 8 platform but will work new surface tablet and Samsung and others plan to use this OS which is not fully windows 8 compatible. It would be very helpful if sonos would support this as the tablet looks promising.

If you want windows...take the survey 🙂

I can, but your posts are as good as the location you it in AKA the bog.
I'd like to add my vote for a Win8 Mobile app too. Win8 may have the smallest share of the mobile phone market at the moment but it's unlikely to go away any time soon as it's a good OS and is appearing on well received phones. Although Android is every bit as good as Win 8, one reason it's so popular is because it's available on cheaper phones as well as premium phones. However, owners of cheap Android phones are less likely to own or be in the market for Sonos gear, which is pretty expensive.
Apparently he was lying or someone was lying to him 😞

Took the survey, but I'm a little confused as to why you've published this in the first place? Surely if you're going with a WP8 app then you would give it the same features as iOS and Droid, would you not? Don't get me wrong, it finally feels like you guys are moving forward with something. However my concern now is that us WP8 users will end up with some half cut version, based on the more important features you gather from your survey.
I have no idea what that means, but I assume it is yet another childish retort, and thus will treat it as such.

Think this has been under consideration for too long!? Vote for this: https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/implement_customers_good_ideas_more_quickly
Love Sonos, but as soon as I find a good alternative I guess Sonos will leave my room:( And that´s too bad, only because I can´t have a system that doesn´t have support for my Windows Phones, makes the simple system not so simple after all...
Phonos is not efficient either.

Nice use of the thesaurus on your iPhone.
I would vote for a Windows 8 User Interface app too. Windows 8 Windows RT Windows 8 Phone
RDP only works if you have a computer that will accept a remote desktop connection. Mine do, but I believe that Windows "Home" licenses don't allow for that. In addition, using RDP is another step that we would also like to avoid and I certainly won't let my kids RDP into my server just to change the music.
Well well... "Xbox’s Marc Whitten leaving Microsoft for Sonos"
Once again, I loathe Apple, so I don't own an iPhone. Let me guess: Accusing someone of being an Apple fanboy so ingrained in your psyche, you forget what was posted mere hours ago?
Really you can't get a windows RT app out by now? Sono's, don't end up like other leaders in their respective product lines. Companies that rest on their success and do not innovate. Corel, Lotus, Nintendo, Atari, and the list goes on. Good now means nothing. Windows 8 / Windows RT / Windows 8 phone will catch up. Remember, Microsoft has a billion + users. Apple and Android together are a rounding error compared to that. Yes I realize that the market for Microsoft is many different OS's.
I have a Play:1, a Play:3 and a Connect and I live this System, but I Hate this bad Support for Windows Phone 8, Phonos is the only app which I have under consideration... I have a complete Microsoft Environment and only because I bought a Surface Pro I am able to control my System, THIS IS BAD!
So stop your answers with under consideration and SUPPORT other OSes, like you can see, Windows Phone is not dead, it is growing!

Hey guys, I think I can speak for most of the thread hear when I suggest we take a breather. Let's remember to stay on point. This is the place to come for Windows mobile controller requests, let's keep it friendly for that purpose. We don't have any news currently or plans to share at the moment, but we'll let you know if there are any updates.
I'm here with my Surface and Windows Phone, and still have to go back to a PC somewhere in the house to change my music... Come on Sonos ! 😞
I'm still confused why this is taking so long? Your Desktop Client is running on a .NET base probably written in C#. So you should have the knowledge of Platform and Programming Language to easily create a Windows Phone / WinRT App. And there are some apps that show that controlling Sonos from the Windows (Phone) Platform is possible, so whats the point of not doing it? At least Windows 8 (8.1) should have enough market share to take this quickly in consideration, as your Desktop Client is not what i would call Touch Optimized.
Just read the website and once again, we're not invited to the party.
I have over $4000 invested in Sonos equipment, including 2 controllers that have been discontinued and $350 each. I find it astounding that Sonos, after saying they couldn't create an app for Windows phone 7 due to lack of features that were later added, still hasn't developed a Windows phone 8 app. I also agree with others, the rate of feature improvements is pathetically slow. Sonos, if you care about your customers, INVEST in them, lest you have a lot less of them in the future
Anyone got Alternative Players to bridge that will have a windows APP?
What happened? From a company with great vision to nothing?
